Breastfeeding on Demand vs. Scheduled Feeding: Which is Better for Your Baby?

Breastfeeding is a crucial aspect of a baby's growth and development. However, there is often a debate about whether to feed on demand or schedule feedings. Breastfeeding on demand allows the baby to eat whenever they are hungry, whereas scheduled feedings involve feeding the baby at predetermined intervals. While both approaches have their benefits, research shows that breastfeeding on demand has numerous advantages. It provides the baby with the necessary nutrients and promotes healthy growth. Additionally, feeding on demand encourages the production of more milk and can help prevent engorgement or mastitis. Ultimately, the decision to breastfeed on demand or schedule feedings depends on the individual and their baby's needs. However, it is essential to understand the benefits of both approaches to make an informed decision.
